2 Answers
2022 has no restrictions on the issuance of new energy vehicle quotas. Below are relevant details: 1. Full liberalization: From January 1, 2021, to December 31, 2022, the eligibility criteria and quantity restrictions for applying for new energy passenger vehicle incremental quotas remain fully lifted. Both individuals and organizations can apply for new energy passenger vehicle incremental quotas without being constrained by the 'Passenger Vehicle Ownership Regulation Management Measures (Trial)', allowing applications based on actual needs. 2. Management information system: Individuals and organizations may apply for new energy passenger vehicle incremental quotas through the Passenger Vehicle Ownership Regulation Management Information System or at local regulation service windows.
Last year in 2022, I was following the new energy vehicle quota policy in Beijing. I remember the transportation department announced an annual quota of around 70,000, which specifically included allocations for families and individuals. The number of applicants far exceeded this figure, resulting in an extremely low lottery success rate—I waited several months before finally getting a license plate. The quota distribution is a key part of the government's strategy to promote electric vehicles, aiming to encourage green travel and reduce pollution while also addressing urban traffic congestion. Compared to 2021, there wasn't much change, but it did drive significant sales growth for many electric vehicle brands and led to the expansion of charging infrastructure. Looking back now, these quota policies truly form the foundation for sustainable mobility with far-reaching impacts.
